Metallica Game Trailer

A teaser of what's to come from Vivendi in 2005.

By IGN Staff

Vivendi Universal, proving once again that no license is going to sneak past it, will be publishing a vehicle combat game featuring the voices, music and likenesses of members of the seminal Bay Area rock band, Metallica on multiple game platforms in 2005. The game is described as having "fully customized vehicles and weaponry, endless terrain and desperate, murderous opponents." Normally that would be all we'd have to say about a Metallica-powered videogame but there's more.

Commenting on the project, Luc Vanhal, Vivendi Universal Games' president and COO said, "We are excited to bring game fans an interactive entertainment experience that delivers intense vehicular combat action along with the powerful music and energy of Metallica. Today's announcement further underscores Vivendi Universal Games' commitment to work with leading artists in the entertainment industry to create engaging interactive products that appeal to the expanding games audience."

Metallica will record at least one exclusive song for the game and the music video for this single will include elements from the game itself. Metallica's new album "St. Anger," which is being unloaded at record retailers as you read this, features a trailer for the as yet untitled game.
